Brew Day #5 - Southern English Brown

Southern English Brown

Oddly, I don't think I've ever even tasted a Southen English Brown Ale. There just aren't many (any?) commercial examples here in the States. I guess that means that even if this ends up tasting like ass it'll still define Southern English Brown for me.
